Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction

Nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award

An American Library Association Notable Book

Jonathan Franzen's third novel, The Corrections, is a great work of art and a grandly entertaining overture to our new century: a bold, comic, tragic, deeply moving family drama that stretches from the Midwest at mid-century to Wall Street and Eastern Europe in the age of greed and globalism. Franzen brings an old-time America of freight trains and civic duty, of Cub Scouts and Christmas cookies and sexual inhibitions, into brilliant collision with the modern absurdities of brain science, home surveillance, hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental healthcare, and the anti-gravity New Economy. With The Corrections, Franzen emerges as one of our premier interpreters of American society and the American soul.

Enid Lambert is terribly, terribly anxious. Although she would never admit it to her neighbors or her three grown children, her husband, Alfred, is losing his grip on reality. Maybe it's the medication that Alfred takes for his Parkinson's disease, or maybe it's his negative attitude, but he spends his days brooding in the basement and committing shadowy, unspeakable acts. More and more often, he doesn't seem to understand a word Enid says.

Trouble is also brewing in the lives of Enid's children. Her older son, Gary, a banker in Philadelphia, has turned cruel and materialistic and is trying to force his parents out of their old house and into a tiny apartment. The middle child, Chip, has suddenly and for no good reason quit his exciting job as a professor at D------ College and moved to New York City, where he seems to be pursuing a "transgressive" lifestyle and writing some sort of screenplay. Meanwhile the baby of the family, Denise, has escaped her disastrous marriage only to pour her youth and beauty down the drain of an affair with a married man--or so Gary hints.

Enid, who loves to have fun, can still look forward to a final family Christmas and to the ten-day Nordic Pleasurelines Luxury Fall Color Cruise that she and Alfred are about to embark on. But even these few remaining joys are threatened by her husband's growing confusion and unsteadiness. As Alfred enters his final decline, the Lamberts must face the failures, secrets, and long-buried hurts that haunt them as a family if they are to make the corrections that each desperately needs.

具體描述

讀後感

評分

这是一本据说在美国影响颇大的一本小说,在很多电影电视中都能看到它是主人公的最爱。但整整一年中,我把这本书拿起又放下,阅读就是无法持续。认真反思,总的一条,翻译太不好,生硬不说,还语义不清,根本不知所云!书的版面设计也很差,一眼看过去,文字稀稀拉拉就像没有几...

“她所有的纠正都是枉费心机,他依然像她初次与他见面时一样顽固。”退休铁路工程师、帕金森症晚期病人艾尔弗雷德,在几乎量不出血压的时候,依然在床上躺了一个礼拜,即便是他再也无力于逃避妻子的亲吻和抚摸,他依然会有力的摆动脑袋,来表达他的拒绝。 不过伊妮德...  

評分

因为马上要毕业了,对于未来感到恐惧,所以喜欢看这种大家一起搞砸自己的人生的小说。 Chipper 出国的那段太迷幻了,读起来有点割裂和难受。 大哥的情节,一个拥有完美生活的中年男人慢慢失心疯掉,屈辱地埋没在父辈的阴影中。 正在读 Alfred 的这一段,好像在解释说一切错误都...  

評分

四十二岁出版一部虚构的家族编年史,对于一位年轻的小说家来说是极富有勇气的事。弗兰岑的小说简洁而精确,对家庭关系与社会关系的透视尤为出色,这并非来源于学术训练与阅读能够带给人的老练,而更多来源于生活予人切身的感触。 大段的描写削弱了主题与篇章、人物与家庭之间...  

評分

【读品】罗豫/文 崇尚标新立异的年代,没有底气的作家恐怕还不敢老老实实写小说。美国作家乔纳森·弗兰岑的《纠正》一书,如果不是这个奖那个奖拿了一大堆,商业宣传上会相当缺乏“卖点”:主角是一个再平常不过的美国家庭,随便扔块石头到大洋彼岸就能砸到这么一家子。“人生...

淩亂的傢庭,每人都有自己的不正常,讓人有時候著急有時候感動。不過還是Purity更好看。

评分

從美國中西部到東部,從西方到東方,政治,經濟,美食,哲學,戲劇。跨度很大,但歸根到底還是年邁父母和三個兒女之間的故事。而為什麼我們總是急於插手修正他人的生活?

我看的第一本Jonathan Franzen,也將是我看的最後一本Jonathan Franzen

整整三個月,名不虛傳,真的是一本很難的書。

讀到爹娘那章實在讀不下去瞭,還書的時候對某人說"It's too depressing",某人說當然瞭這可是他的書
